Largely set within stark farmland and surreal, nightmarish dreams, Coburn's new collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eGhost Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, is haunted by depression, trauma, addiction, memory, regret, and the spectre of mutilation and violence inflicted on the human body, accompanied by the desire to leave.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBut through this, there is always the process of the poet writing; an act that both dissects and preserves experience and suffering. This act ultimately creates, as Leonard Cohen wrote, an engine of survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlways vulnerable, often confronting and harrowing, Ghost Poetry is a beautifully crafted and important work that will scar the reader.","brand":"Robbie Coburn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43515766374461,"sku":null,"price":23.74,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780645536898.jpg?v=1787488923","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/ghost-poetry","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
